I like the value here with Boston in what I feel is a big spot for the Red Sox, as they look to bounce back after losing the final 2 games in their most recent series against the rival Yankees. Boston should also get a boost here in their first home game after a lengthy 10-game road trip. Red Sox have won 5 of 6 at home and are 12-4 in their last 16 home games against a team with a losing record.
Detroit's Jordan Zimmermann has a 5.98 ERA and 1.573 WHIP in 11 starts and 0-3 with a 7.07 ERA in 5 road outings entering Friday's game at Fenway. The Tigers have lost his last six road starts.


Lastly the RedSox are 25-7 in their last 32 home games after losing their previous game by 4 or more runs.


Back Boston to bounce back after a tough series in the Bronx.
